The Microblaze dynamic ftrace code assumes a call ordering that is not met
in all scenarios. Specifically, executing a command similar to:
echo 105 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_pid
before any other tracing-related commands results in a kernel panic:
BUG: failure at arch/microblaze/kernel/ftrace.c:198/ftrace_update_ftrace_func()!
Recoding ftrace_update_ftrace_func() to use &ftrace_caller directly eliminates
the need to capture its address elsewhere (and thus rely on a particular call
sequence).

This patch add support for dynamic function graph tracer.
There is one my expactation that I can do flush_icache after
all code modification. On microblaze is this safer than do
flush for every entry. For icache is used name flush but
correct should be invalidation - this will be fix in upcomming
new cache implementaion and WB support.

With dynamic function tracer, by default, _mcount is defined as an
"empty" function, it returns directly without any more action. When
enabling it in user-space, it will jump to a real tracing
function(ftrace_caller), and do the real job for us.
Differ from the static function tracer, dynamic function tracer provides
two functions ftrace_make_call()/ftrace_make_nop() to enable/disable the
tracing of some indicated kernel functions(set_ftrace_filter).
In the kernel version, there is only one "_mcount" string for every
kernel function, so, we just need to match this one in mcount_regex of
scripts/recordmcount.pl.
For more information please look at code and Documentation/trace folder.
Steven ACK that scripts/recordmcount.pl part.
